Trend Alert: Winter Retreat

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:30:22 -0800

It's bound to happen. Everyone starts to hibernate as the days get shorter and the temp gets colder. However, that's no excuse to dress drab. I suggest making your Winter retreat a fashionable one via buffalo plaid, sherpa-lined denim, laced boots, and boyfriend jeans. Think Paul Bunyan, or rather, Paulina Bunyan, when styling your warm warfare. Now, all I need is a cabin, fireplace, hot cocoa, and a snuggly stud muffin.

Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ? Why it's the always-adorable Christina Ricci. She teamed hers with skinny jeans, cat-eye sunnies, and a luscious gray Chanel bag. Not too shabby. A look that works for both the city and the country - and the road trip in between.

Trend Alert: Amazing Ponchos

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Don't deny the power of the poncho. I initially told you about them last year, but you weren't feeling me. How about giving amazing ponchos another try? I have - I've been wearing my gray and white alpaca knit poncho from Peru left and right. They're all over stores now, and I also peeped a ton on the Spring '10 runways. There's a style for every girl: country cozy, city sleek, and Mexicana. This decadent cream confection from Chloe's show is my inspiration piece. It's like a beautiful baby blanket, ultra luxe, ultra cozy.

Trend Alert: Cool Cropped Khakis

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

Leave it to Rihanna to wear a sleek pair of cool cropped khakis to a business meeting in NYC - Rihanna does power dressing like no other. OK, so she's wearing a white crop top under, which could be considered unprofessional, but this is Rihanna we're talking about. This ensemb even contains a nautical nod. Sigh.These pants aren't overly trendy, and can be carried into cooler months with smart layers and cozy knits. Heels are a must for a more professional presentation, while exotic sandals take it to foreign territory. I know I've convinced myself to get a pair, have I convinced you?

Back to Cool: Blossom

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

I always appreciated Blossom Russo's haphazardly cool style. With partner in crime Six, the two ruled the early '90s in their funky floral hats, vests, crazy prints, and cool loafers. I especially adored Blossom's knack for wearing oversize blazers and mismatched outfits. Indeed, Blossom was in her own fashion world - who would have thought her styling tricks are some of today's hottest trends? Fun fact: Blossom, aka Mayim Bialik, left Hollywood to get a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA. Double awesome.

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:00:22 -0800

It's stylish duos like this that make me feel all warm and mushy inside. One of our favorite couples, Diane and Joshua, walked the streets of NYC running errands and grocery shopping. Oh, and stopping for bouts of PDA along the way. It's obvious Diane has influenced her man's style, but hey, it works. As for the stylist herself, she wore her favorite Tod's lace-up boots with light gray jeans and navy, black, and ivory coziness on top. Smart accessories include a hands-free Chloe bag and red feathered fedora. Are you feeling the love?

Rag & Bone Skinny Blazer - $545.00	Chaps Button-Shoulder Striped Sweater - $50.00

I Want This Wardrobe: He's Just Not That Into You, Office Chic

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 07:00:22 -0800

What is most entertaining about the film He's Just Not That Into You is the kooky star-studded cast. I'm not going to give anything away, but let's put it this way: this is a movie about relationships that half made me cringe and half made me laugh. Seeing the paths of all these great actors cross was part of the fun, and scoping out their Baltimore style was interesting too. These three ladies all work together, so we see a lot of casual chic. Ginnifer's character is feminine and funky, while the Jennifers are more streamlined and sophisticated. We've got the rundown of what they wore in case you're just that into it . . .

For the whole scoop on the clothes from this film, visit CelebStyle.com.

Ginnifer (Gigi): Dress by Ella Moss, green leather tote by J.Crew
Jennifer A. (Beth): Theory shirt, Paul Smith pants
Jennifer C. (Janine): Badgley Mischka sheer blouse, Charles Nolan skirt

Trend Alert: A No Fuss Black Coat

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 06:00:22 -0800

The holidays are when you wear your most Fab garb. You're buttoned and bundled up. I have an arsenal of festive wear I better get wearing! But isn't the key to looking good looking effortless? Easy fix: When running out the door - dress, hair, makeup, jewelry, shoes, all in perfect placement - just grab an even slightly wrinkled no fuss black coat and keep running. You'll appear to the party slightly disheveled, but in the best way. See Cameron and America? They showed up at the same event in theirs, both looking polished, but not too perfect. And Jennifer, well, she let her legs and frilly Valentino dress peek out from under hers. No fuss, no problems.
